Huh? That was a really confusing thing to read.

Let's go through all the combinations so you understand. There is no such thing as a "./" file, it simply means the current directory.

"./" means the current directory.

"./foo" is a file or folder named "foo" in the current directory.

"./.foo" is a file or folder named ".foo" in the current directory.

"/foo" is a file or folder named "foo" in the root directory.

"/.foo" is a file or folder named ".foo" in the root directory.

"../foo" is a file or folder named "foo" in the parent directory.

"../.foo" is a file or folder named ".foo" in the parent directory.

You can keep prepending periods to go one directory level higher in the hierarchy.

Adding periods to the file name just adds extra periods to the file name.

In no case whatsoever does "./" in front of a file put a period in front of a filename or denote that it's some kind of "system" or hidden file. Generally in Linux distros files that begin with a "." are configuration files and they are hidden from shell utilities, and it seems that's carried over into Android but simply beginning a file with a "." does not make it anything special. I could make every file in my home directory start with a "." and they would all still be exactly the same, aside from the file name.

The "." (in a path, not a file name) is what denotes current directory. Usually if you need to run a command it doesn't look in the current directory unless it's included in the PATH variable, if you add "." to PATH then you don't need to use "./" to run executables that aren't in PATH. In any case, it still just means current directory.

Camera lighting

I found a very marginally passable workaround for the camera no flash problem. If you turn on the built in torch app, then hit back, then turn on the camera you will have light for your picture. Interestingly, the lights actually flick when you take the picture. It is good enough for me to take pictures of things at my work and might help someone else here out.

Anyone else having issues with beautiful widgets superclock locking up? As you can see, the clock has been frozen for a good 3 hours now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
I highly recommend getting beweather pro, you can use the widget skins from beautiful widgets on your clock/weather widget but beweather is a much much better app, probably the best 3rd party weather app I've ever used.

and it has never once frozen on me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] DalekCaan:
Just wondering if this is a known issue: my camera doesn't take full pictures. The picture is cut off at the top by a jagged line and above the line there is what sometimes looks a bit like static on an old TV. Is this normal? Or is there something I can do about it?

Thanks.

So simply installing the apk will suffice? Should we move the file to system/apps?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmrussell:
You need to still install the camera patch zip (using recovery). After that, open the Camera.apk, and it will replace the existing camera app.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JLow0214:
Right, you must have the camera patch installed 1st and you don't need to move it anywhere juat install it will put itself in the right directory

Does anyone know when hardware acceleration will be incorporated to any of the upcoming ics roms?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
I posted this over in Aero's forum, but in case I get a faster response here...

Does anyone know if Aero's v6 kernel has swap support? Also, if the previous question's answer is yes, would someone know where the system mounts the swap partition on the sdcard? It's the only secondary partition on the sdcard, aside from the FAT32 partition for standard storage.

I need to know where it's mounted so I can tell Swapper2 where to find it.

Before people comment, I know it might not be necessary, but I'd like to see what kind of improvements it would offer, just out of curiosity. I've got a good class 10 card, so R/W speed is not something I'm really worried about. Plus, now that everything is all nicely settled again, I want to play around. :)

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
To everyone asking about the updates, other than camera and GSM problems, what needs to be fixed. I've only seen a few bugs and GSM and camera are the big ones. I can't promise that tp will make enough progress to want to release an update over a steller beta 3.

Just saying. I know you want an update, but no need to push an update unless something gets fixed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
hardware acceleration is included in all of the current ICS roms, it's just not full hw acceleration yet because the proper source from HTC has not been provided yet nor has qualcomm released updated drivers.

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

I agree, it's unecessary to put out an update just for the sake of doing it, I would much rather wait for a substantial improvement before seeing anything new, if any little stuff is fixed a patch will suffice until then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brncocorey:
I don't know if this has been discussed, and I apologize in advance, but is the Netflix issue(black screen with audio) a Rom issue or a Netflix issue?

Same black screen with audio if a use hw decoder to play video in vplayer
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scottjb:
A patch is an update! ;-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Undeception:
How about fuller Bluetooth support?

And also, those who find beta 3 to be stellar are usually those who have flashed beta 3, plus a camera patch, plus a new kernel, plus a market fix, plus another camera patch. A fully integrated ROM would be really nice! :)

EDIT TO ADD: I am not saying that this ROM is not stellar. I am one who flashed all of those except the new camera apk. It really is stellar, and I daydream about being back on it! I'm just saying, there are things that can and probably should be done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
There has only been one cam patch...the other is a cam apk..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Undeception:
Ok, I misunderstood the thread. But it was still something that had to be flashed to make the camera work (more) properly, right? I haven't tried it since I've been back on CM7 awaiting either a new build or the weekend when I don't need to use my Bluetooth device. ;-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
This is what I'm looking for.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
No lol you download the apk and install it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Undeception:
Well see? Told you I hadn't tried it out! :D

It's still something worth integrating, no?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yes it is and will be when tp adds it. I'll be adding the apk to the op soon.

Remember, tp works full time, and he's the dev. Me and joker test and work full time. Sadly I can't get, test, and push updates all the time. Tp IS working hard on this but we have our paying jobs and families too.

Another update, I won't be very active next month as I'll be in ntc all Feb training for deployment
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
We need more detail on Bluetooth. I don't test it and tp doesn't use it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antdog24:
Bluetooth basically connects but no sound is produced. So i can connect the bluetooth to my radio in my car, make a call but nothing comes out of the speakers. I'm not sure if the microphone is working either....

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Undeception:
A few of us have written reports earlier in this thread. For me (in summary) my headset doesn't show up on scan, and I've tried every conceivable wipe/not wipe scenario to no avail. devinhfox, for instance, has reported something similar. Our devices work in CM7 (and mine at least has been confirmed to work with the Galaxy Nexus), but not here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
this is exactly what is happening with me too. I'm using a Voyager Pro+ from plantronics, if that helps
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
Yeah I think just making it a fully integrated ROM so there aren't any .zips to flash really other than a kernal. I would like more mods, the trebuchet settings I'm speaking of. Bluetooth yes, but I did notice an mms issue. Idk if it has been brought up, I've only read from about 95 and up in pages. I can receive mms but only pictures, when I get a video it only will display a picture. Sending pictures and video is fine though
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] DalekCaan:
Where might I be able to find this camera apk? I'm thinking it might fix my jagged-edge-on-the-top-of-all-my-pictures issue...

I realize this -- no one here's a professional smartphone hacker, and it's a much-appreciated volunteer effort. No one's expecting lots and lots of updates, but I just wanted to be clear that there are currently a few different issues that an update would be useful for.

Does not fix that issue, only the black screen when first opening the camera app

I only have a cheapo rocketfish bt headset (Rf-qx4) and that works 100%. Bt has a lot of different profiles so my guess is that only some are working. Let's get some info together and maybe we can figure out which ones. Gonna double check but I think this little guy uses HS1.1. The car peripheral mentioned earlier might use A2DP?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
Someone else mentioned it, but Netflix is a biggie for me. That's all that's standing in my way before I make this thing a DD.

And yeah, we all understand this is volunteer development, and we greatly appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Undeception:
Good idea, thanks!

Mine's a Rocketfish RF-MAB2, not quite as cheapo (but not top of the line, either). It can connect in HSP or HSF for phone calls, but uses A2DP for media.

My Kenwood Bluetooth stereo plays music fine, haven't tried it for calls though. Too bad Google still hasn't implemented AVRCP 1.3 though, no track metadata.

Has anyone else noticed that if they turn speakerphone on too early during a call (the first couple of rings) the person on the other end can't hear you at all?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] BeardedB:
I think a solution for the camera taking out a chunk of the picture at the top of your pictures is taking the picture in landscape.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
In the great Linux tradition of no solution being universally reliable, I never had a problem getting a GPS lock until trying that "fix". After applying it, I could never get a lock, uninstalled it and I was back to my usual lock in under 10 seconds. Go figure...

Another lesson in not fixing what isn't broken I guess.

So my phone started misbehaving today. I've been running beta 3 with camera patch for awhile now and its been running very nicely. Then suddenly, the screen would not come back on after going to sleep. The hardware buttons would light up, but not the screen.

-I pulled the battery and rebooted. Phone now extremely sluggish and screen going dark continues.

-I reflashed the ROM, same thing.

-I did a factory reset and flashed the ROM brand new, same thing.

-I restored a known good backup, same thing.

-I restored a beta 2 backup, same thing.

-I restored to a gingerbread backup and the phone worked perfectly.

-I let the phone settle for a couple of hours and reflashed beta 3 again and it will not work.

I don't know why my phone suddenly hates ICS. I'm formatting my SD card and downloading a new copy of beta 3 and I'm gonna try again. I'm shaking my head right now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
Try doing a superwipe. There is one made by newtoroot that is posted a while back.

I'll try to find it and when I do ill update this post
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I used the super wipe included in 4ext and used newts super wipe afterwards and newts didn't do anything but inform me that everything (system data cache etc.) was unmounted. So I'm going to assume they do the exact same thing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] billquinn1:
Remember to flash aerovans kernel after the camera fix. The camera fix includes a boot.img and over-writes whatever kernel you are using. Also if you get the camera from the Desire S thread, only install the Camera.apk and not the flashable zip they have over there. They have extra things in there not good for us. This may not be your problem but it could be depending on what you are flashing when.

Bill
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
What page is the super wipe on? I can't find it LOL
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] billquinn1:
No one may be interested but the history of the "super wipe script" goes back to the first year of android development. At that time, there were no recovery images that included a "system" wipe or format. You had to do it from Fastboot. Wiping System and deleting a couple of files from the SDcard was critical when changing from Eclair to Froyo or modifying the MTD layout in a G1. There was such little space on the phone we would steal memory from the camera to give to free memory.

So the big feature of the script is now really just convenience. Just flash and go.

Not that interesting but that's where it came from. I don't remember who actually wrote the original script. There were a lot of real crafty people working on the original phone.

Bill
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
Two things: Check what file systems your data and cache are. You can do this by using 4ext recovery (touch version is easier). If they're ext4, convert them to ext3 in the tools menu.

Also, just for kicks, try updating your SU binary in the SuperUser app.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
You learn something new every day my friend. My first Droid was og Inc so I was a little behind the power curve. Sometimes I wish I did have an old Droid I know next to nothing about abd and scripts and whatever else you had to do to root. All I've ever used were one clicks :/...noob
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] billquinn1:
It was fun. It was so easy to brick, there is a whole section in the G1 forum on how to solder onto the main board in the phone to JTAG in and recover the phone.

Getting ICS to run on this phone reminds me of all that. Big fun.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mdspace:
Well, I'm at a loss. My phone will no longer run ICS properly. I've tried everything I can think of, including formatting my memory card and switching to a different memory card. I'm gonna have to go back to CM7 and wait for a new update and see if my phone acts any better.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but sadly none of them worked.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mdspace:
This is exactly what has happened. Just tried to update the binaries on a ICS rom and it told me I didn't have S-Off. It's weird because they update with no trouble on a GB rom. I don't know what I'm going to do about ICS, guess I won't use it. Don't know if I'll be able to find all the files you referenced in your post.

Anyway, thanks for helping me figure it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kerfex:
Try this....

It was RegnierD that figured it out, not me so he deserves all the thanks. Here is what I would try now:

1) wipe everything off the phone. Battery Stats, Cache, Dalvik and do a data factory reset.

2) on your SD card, delete any " . " files, i.e. .data, .android-secure, .etc and so forth

3) Put any GB ROM on it.

4)Go through the entire rooting process again.

5)Boot normal back in the GB ROM.

6)Reboot into recovery and Wipe all again.

7)Flash ICS, any ROM.

8)Keep fingers crossed.

I do not know if this will work, but in theory it should. Good luck!

EDIT: I also would stay away from Overclocking the phone more the 1300 (1.3)
